Nottingham Forest v Arsenal (Sun)

While handing out the ban and fine, the Football Association said that Arsene Wenger accepted his abusive language and behaviour which was improper and questioned the integrity of the match official Mike Dean.

Nottingham Forest striker Daryl Murphy is an injury doubt having come off in the home defeat against Sunderland.

Nottingham Forest most recently played to a scoreless draw with Leeds United on January 1.

The FA have taken a dim view of Wenger's withering censure of Dean, but Nottingham Forest have at least seen the amusing side.

Theo Walcott has hardly featured for the visitors this season in the Premier League although he remains a threat in the cup competitions for coach Arsène Wenger's men, with four goals in eight appearances. Steve Bould will probably be calling the shots, but I don't expect that Arsenal will be too negatively affected by le absence of le boss. Per Mertesacker will come back in because Calum Chambers is absolutely broken.

"Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil, Jack Wilshere and Alexandre Lacazette won't play but the real concern is that defence".

"We had a normal training session today and the players have been bright and noisy, which is a good indication they're happy, so they got on with their work".
